Compile Tailwind CSS for Hyvä themes in Magento 2. Use when the user wants to build styles, generate CSS, compile Tailwind, run Tailwind, or create production/development stylesheets for a Hyvä theme. Also use when Tailwind classes are not taking effect or some styles appear missing after template changes — this typically means CSS needs to be recompiled. Triggers include "compile tailwind", "build styles", "generate css", "styles not working", "styles are missing", "styles not applied".

AI-generated overview

Compiles Tailwind CSS for Hyvä themes in Magento 2, in production or watch mode.

What it does
This skill guides an agent through compiling Tailwind CSS for a Hyvä theme in Magento 2. It detects the environment, identifies the target theme, installs npm dependencies when node_modules is missing, and runs either a production build or watch mode. It then verifies that the compiled stylesheet at the theme's web/css/styles.css path was updated.
When to use it
Use it when a user wants to build styles, generate CSS, or compile Tailwind for a Hyvä theme, or when Tailwind classes are not taking effect and styles appear missing after template changes. It also applies when a production or development stylesheet is needed for such a theme.
Requirements
Requires a Magento 2 project with a Hyvä theme containing a Tailwind configuration, Node.js and npm, and the theme's web/tailwind directory with its npm scripts. It depends on the hyva-exec-shell-cmd and hyva-theme-list skills for environment detection and theme discovery. It ships no scripts; it is instructions only.

Compile Tailwind CSS for Hyvä Themes

Compiles Tailwind CSS for Hyvä themes in Magento 2. Handles both production builds and development watch mode.

Step 1: Detect Environment & Set Command Wrapper

Use the hyva-exec-shell-cmd skill to detect the environment and determine the appropriate command wrapper. All npm commands below show the core command; wrap them according to the detected environment.

Step 2: Identify Theme

If no theme path provided, invoke the hyva-theme-list skill to discover available themes. Filter the results to only include themes in app/design/frontend/ by default. Themes in vendor/hyva-themes/ require explicit user request.

If no themes found: Inform the user that no Hyvä themes with Tailwind configuration were found in app/design/frontend/. Ask if they want to check vendor/hyva-themes/ instead, or if they need to create a child theme first using the hyva-child-theme skill.

Step 3: Install Dependencies & Build

Default to production build unless user explicitly requests "watch", "watch mode", or "live reload".

bash
# Install deps only if node_modules missingif [ ! -d "<theme-path>/web/tailwind/node_modules" ]; then  cd <theme-path>/web/tailwind && npm cifi
# Production build (default)cd <theme-path>/web/tailwind && npm run build
# OR watch mode (only if explicitly requested)cd <theme-path>/web/tailwind && npm run watch

Step 4: Verify Output

Compiled CSS location: <theme-path>/web/css/styles.css

Confirm the file was updated by checking its modification time.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing node_modules: Run npm ci
  • Outdated styles: Clear browser cache; in production mode run bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy
